Key benefits

This shea butter provides intensive nourishment for dry, sensitive or reactive skin and helps restore the skin barrier thanks to its rich composition of natural fatty acids and antioxidants. The natural vanilla scent, derived from pure plant extract, leaves the skin subtly scented, without synthetic fragrances. The soft, creamy texture of this shea butter melts easily into the skin, making it an ideal treatment for the whole body, but also works excellently as a soothing treatment for dry hair ends. The formula is perfect for colder seasons or after sun exposure, and leaves the skin feeling comfortable, smooth and nourished for a long-lasting effect.

Active ingredients

Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter)

The shea fruit tree grows to a height of around 20 metres and is found only in the wild on the West African savannahs. For thousands of years, the kernels have been crushed into an extremely nutrient-rich nut fat or butter packed with vitamins, minerals, proteins and a unique composition of essential fatty acids. Unrefined shea butter possesses the greatest number of healing and moisturising properties, as well as the highest percentage of active ingredients of all butters and oils. Shea butter is exceptionally nourishing, moisturising and soothing for the skin and hair. It has anti-inflammatory properties, promotes the healing process and restores the skin barrier, encourages cell renewal and elasticity, and protects against extreme weather conditions and UV radiation. High-quality organic shea butter is beneficial for dry, chapped and irritated skin, itching, sunburn, eczema, skin allergies, insect bites and minor skin wounds, and it reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that protects the formula and helps defend the skin against oxidative stress. It contributes to smoother, more resilient skin and helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance.

Natural vanilla extract (Vanilla Planifolia Extract)

The key ingredient for the warm, soft vanilla fragrance. The extract is naturally sourced and contributes to a soothing scent experience. The vanilla fragrance is 100% natural and free from synthetic additives.
